Two big errors during installation!
  • Hello people! Let me introduce myself, my name is Greg and I would like to use this nice CMS, but! I have two errors during the installation of Newscoop.

    I uploaded all files into my server (I use a subdirectory for various reasons), but at the first step, when it controls all the settings, it shows me this errors:

    Exec() function enabled No
     
    System() function enabled No 
     
    Now, I told this to my server support center and they have this settings for security reason, and my server is a Shared Server, so How can I install Newscoop with this parameters? 

    P.S. I cannot change php.ini and htaccess files! I tried to follow every guides that I found on the web! But I still have this problem! Please help me! Thank you for every answer!

    hi Gregory,

    unfortunately installation process requires these functions. Theoretically it's possible to get running newscoop on your hosting if you install newscoop on local machine and copy files into shared hosting (db dump could be restored via phpmyadmin)

    nothing dangerous. I'm using this method in case site moving on another server.
    1. Install newscoop on local machine
    2. make db dump: mysql -uroot -p db_name > dump.sql
    3. copy all newscoop files on hosting
    4. make database on hosting
    5. restore database via phpmyadmin or command (in case available ssh): mysql -u user_name -p db_name < ./dump.sql
    6. change db_name, db_user and db_password in conf/database_conf.php file

    better locally installed (installation process makes some new files)
  • Thank for your answer Andrey.

    This could be dangerous? Could it work? There's a guide? Thank you for your patience! 
  • Thank you again Andrey, I have the last question for you! I have to copy new Newscoop files into my server or I copy my local installation files into the server?
  • Ok, I'm gonna try! :D Hope hope hope! :D
